Concerning misclassification in the finishing trades on public works projects.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The bill adds a rule that triggers an investigation when a contractor or subcontractor uses three or more independent contractors to do the same type of finishing work—such as drywall, flooring, tiling, painting, or glasswork—on a public works job. It allows the project owner, other contractors, labor groups, or the workers themselves to request the investigation, and if misclassification is found, the contractor faces existing penalties and further referrals under state law.
